Whoever you are, you have probably come to Housingnet looking for the best data on Housing Associations and Local Authorities, and you have come to the right place. You may well have been to the competition; the main one that springs to mind is the NHF, and been attracted by what they had to offer and are now asking yourself 'why choose Housingnet instead?
- We are independent, unfunded by and unaffiliated to any organisation that could have editorial influence over us or the data we have been collecting and refining since 1997.
- We update our data in real-time i.e. the data is constantly refreshed as the updates come in from the best possible sources. It is then displayed on our site immediately.
- All our data can also be easily exported from the site via the Export Panel or from any search results page if you are registered with us. All our export licenses last for a full year and there is no limit to the number of times or the amount of data that can be exported. The data can be simply downloaded to your desktop as a spreadsheet.
- We are a software company with an extensive background in Social Housing and have a vast amount of experience in building large scale database solutions. We are able to offer this service free to Local Authorities and RSLs. To enable this we have to charge a nominal fee for all other users.
- The collection, distribution and management of up to date information is our core business. We don't update our database twice a year or once a week. We update it constantly. This is why we call it 'real-time' updating.
- We don’t restrict ourselves to Social Housing Organizations in England and Wales. We cover the whole of the UK no matter how small or specialized.
- Organisations do not need to be registered with the Housing Corporation or any of the national bodies to be included on the Housingnet database, you just have to own or manage social housing. We set out to be all-inclusive, to build a true picture of Social Housing in the UK, not to be selective or to target one particular group.
Future development means that more and more of the site will be available to just the registered users but please remember; registration is free to all providers of social housing via Access
We hope you like what we're building and that you find the data useful.
We welcome any suggestions on any subject, so please write in to us helpdesk@housingnet.co.uk

FAQ
|
 |
How many records are there on the database?
Housing Organisations – 2,594
Local Councils – 438
How often is your data updated?
We update in real-time from a number of different sources so changes are being made every working hour.
What is the ‘Top 400’?
Many Parent Housing Organisations are ‘non-stock holding’ so if you exported all organisations with 1 or more unit in management you would be excluding some of the biggest Social Home providers in the UK. In the Top 400 we have totaled all the housing stock owned or managed by each Parent giving you a sorted list of the biggest movers and shakers in the sector.
Do you guarantee your data?
No we can not, there is too much of it. We do though guarantee that we have the best available contact data of this type by far in any media in the UK.
Does the export contain contact names for Executive Management and Heads of Departments?
In the export panel you can see the titles of the recipients we hold on the database. Some will be duplicates as the Chief Executive of the Parent company will usually be the same for it’s subsidiaries.
Can I export the email address of these ‘Contact Names’?
No. Only general email addresses for each organisation ie. admin@ha.org.uk can be exported. If we have the individual email address for a ‘Contact Name’ this will be displayed on the organisations Housingnet record once you have logged on.
How do I receive the data?
All data is exported in spread sheet format.
How many times can I export data?
Depending on the license that you purchase you can export data as often as you wish over a 365 day period or for 7 days from the time of activation.
Can I speak to someone on the phone?
We would prefer you sent an email.
What if I don’t like what I get?
You would be the first client in 10 years that asked for their money back and if you were that unhappy we would certainly give a full unconditional refund.
